Launching an attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi , Bharatiya Janata Party said that Lok Sabha’s Leader of Opposition stands with China and not India, calling him a ‘black spot’ on Indian democracy. BJP national spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia said at a press conference, ‘Everyone knows that Rahul Gandhi is an immature and part-time leader. But people have put a huge responsibility on his shoulders since he became the leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha. But I feel sad to say that Rahul Gandhi is a black spot in Indian democracy. He does not even know what to talk about when he visits a foreign country’.
Reacting sharply to Rahul’s remarks praising China, Bhatia said Gandhi cannot utter a single word or give a statement against China. The BJP leader said, ‘He weakens India. He stands by China’. Bhatia claimed that the Congress had signed a ‘party-to-party MoU with China’ during its rule.
Another BJP spokesperson, Prem Shukla, said the way Gandhi condemns India and appreciates China on foreign soil proves that he is nothing but an ‘anti-India pawn thriving on Chinese donations’.
He said, ‘The series of efforts that Rahul Gandhi has been making to weaken Indian democracy is the outcome of that MoU. If I am wrong, I dare Rahul Gandhi and Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge to make the MoU public’. Bhatia was responding to the reporters queries on Gandhi’s remarks against the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) at an event in the US. ‘Love, respect and humility are missing from Indian politics, Gandhi said in his address to the Indian-American community. He also criticized the RSS for believing that India is ‘one idea’.
The Bharatiya Janata Party reacted to the leader of opposition Rahul Gandhi’s remarks on Sikhs. The BJP challenged the Congress leader to repeat in India what he said about the Sikhs in Virginia and stated that when they will file a case against Rahul Gandhi.
